Course Description:
Clinical trial management systems (CTMS) are not medical devices yet CTMS software is used to collect important clinical trial information for many products including medical devices and therefore should be validated. Available FDA guidance documents do not clearly describe how to validate a CTMS for the US market. CTMS developers, sponsors, site users and vendor/site auditors are left to interpret the clinical trial regulations and FDA guidance documents which are not directly applicable to CTMS software development.
For example, the software validation steps suggested and required for medical device software development may be appropriate for CTMS software in certain areas, but most of the medical device software requirements are not applicable to CTMS software development because the CTMS software is used for an entirely different purpose (i.e. intended use) than the medical device software. Many auditors point to the "General Principles of Software Validation" guidance and suggest rigorous medical device software validation principals which may not be the "least burdensome" path for CTMS software development. So what are the steps required for CTMS software validation and when is the CTMS software considered validated?
This course will review two FDA guidance documents related to software development in computerized systems including the "Computerized Systems Used in Clinical Investigations" which is clearly applicable to CTMS and the "General Principles of Software Validation" which is more directly applicable to software within a medical device. Attendees will understand how to use these guidance documents in a stepwise manner to create a robust CTMS software validation plan which should withstand an auditor’s scrutiny. Key features of a good CTMS software validation process will be presented and a review of the required Quality Management System and Standard Operating System documents will be discussed.
